Aug. 31

? Charles Molette, 51, of Selma was arrested on a warrant charging him with making harassing communications.

? Someone pried open the rear door of a vacant residence near Marbury and made off with a list of items that includes the kitchen sink. Sheriff's reports show that a $200 stove, a $200 cabinet unit and a $150 kitchen sink. Also stolen were two glass doors valued at $50 each, an $80 ceiling fan and shower heads valued at $50.

? A Prattville woman, 32-year-old Jami Christine Womack, was arrested on a warrant charging her with possession of a controlled substance.

Sept. 1

? A County Road 21 North resident reported that someone smashed a window on his 1994 pickup and stole a .22-caliber, semi-automatic rifle from the front seat. The thief or thieves also stole a $500 lawn mower and a $300 weed trimmer.

? A county resident told deputies that someone stole a .40-caliber assault rifle worth $1,500 from his vehicle while he was at a party on North Pickett Street in Autaugaville.

? Sheriff's officers were sent to a Motley Drive address, where a man told them his son had roughed him up. The man told deputies his son came to his residence and "started an argument over money." The younger man reportedly struck the older one "several times on the side of the head with his fists" after the older man refused to come up with the money.

Sept. 2

? An Autaugaville property owner reported that he believed an identified "squatter" had heavily damaged a vacant residence and had stolen several items from within. Reports show that an inside-outside air conditioning unit valued at $2,000 was stolen, as were a $500 water heater, a $300 oven and a $300 stove. The building's sheetrock sustained $2,500 in damage, while a $200 glass storm door and a $150 mirror were reportedly shattered.

? James David Oneal Champion, 19, of Elmore was arrested on warrants charging him with one count each of unlawful breaking and entering of an automobile, third-degree theft and third-degree receiving stolen property.

? A Nathan Drive resident reported that someone came into his home and stole firearms valued at $2,400. Stolen were two Chinese SKS assault rifles valued at $500 each, a $1,000 double-barrel shotgun and a $400 Walther PPK pistol. Deputies noted that there were no signs of forced entry into the home, and the guns were stolen from a safe that was unlocked with a key he kept hidden in his home.

? Someone threw a brick through a glass exterior door to gain entry to a Bob Road home, then threw a brick through the screen of the home's television set. Nothing was reported stolen.

? A man told deputies that another man came to his County Road 21 North home and "began beating on his front door." The man said he shouted that he "had a gun and wasn't afraid to use it." The door-banger eventually left, but the man discovered later that two tires on his vehicle had been punctured with "some type of sharp object."

Sept. 3

? An Elmore man was arrested after he fell asleep at the wheel of his vehicle, which was parked beside a gas pump at a convenience store, with his firearm at his side. Sheriff's reports show that deputies were sent to the Texaco station on U.S. Highway 31 North, where they arrested Ronnie Lamar Young, 25, and charged him with one count each of public intoxication and carrying a pistol illegally.

? A Deatsville man refused to file charges against his son for a domestic altercation that occurred between the two. Reports show that the son came home late, and his father planned to punish him by taking away the keys to his vehicle. The youngster refused to give up the keys, though, and the father was flung to the floor as the two wrestled for the keys.
